It does seem from the story recounted above that the 'humour' in this scenario was more about embarrassing the OP in front of his friend and revelling in her discomfort.
Which raises questions.

Well, it does, but it isn't definitive.

I hate when people make a big deal out of farts too. People that find humour in farts are the reason I don't fart in front of anybody. I like to keep my dignity.
To each, their own.
If I do fart around friends and family, I warn them not to come near me.
As Shrek would say:

I think the guy should have just left the fart jokes alone....
I believe Caz loves her husband----but finds some of his humor to be immature.

@Kraftie
If Caz asks him not to humiliate her in front of their friends, or anyone, if she farts, and he refuses to respect her wishes, I think there is a problem.

Saying this, your husband should have been more classy than he was.
There's nothing really "wrong" with fart jokes---but they certainly are not classy.
Like the difference between the Three Stooges and someone like Mort Sahl.

I sometimes make jokes to make a point.
In this context, I might be expressing my disrespect for social convention.
You don't respect a system that disrespects individuals.

That certainly seems more mean-spirited in nature, which isn't really very funny. For me and my boyfriend we just pretty much accept everything about each other(I mean we even shower together a lot of the time maybe that is odd idk) and we both get a bit of a laugh out of it. I don't think I'd like it if my boyfriend was like trying to truly embarrass me about farting.
That isn't odd...

I said Caz thinks the guy is acting immature if he tells fart jokes, and calls attention to her farts in front of people. And I don't believe that's all that nice. The guy should stop it if it upsets Caz.

@Kraftie.
I didn't suggest you did.
I was agreeing with you.

Yeah. Its sounds like he is purposely "pushing your buttons". At the very least.
Not sure what the solution would be. Except to ... remove the buttons, and just not react,...so he will tire of trying to push them.

Friends often tease each other.
Hence, my saying, it is not "definitive".

Emphasis on "seems".
Communication between Caz and her husband is required.
